 Image analysis and processing: Techniques and theory (contrast/brightness,
stabilization, multiview etc.)
 VirtualDub, AVISynth
Facial Comparison:
 Methods
 Quality aspects
 Facial recognition systems
 Proficiency testing
 Image comparison software (open source software: comparator)
 Hands-on facial comparison
Determine source camera of image (PRNU)
 Using NFI tools to determine a camera-specific noise pattern of digital photos.
Video& image file formats & codecs:
 (Proprietary) player problems (codecs and formats, database players)
 Using Defraser (searching, analyzing, repairing video file fragments)
3D modeling & photogrammetry
